As If

 

As if

you couldn’t believe

believe when

you couldn’t believe

                        When we all

                        we all

                        intake one breath

                                                            or cannot

                                                            space

                                                               collapsing

                        When we all

Believe in absence

   liminal

                        intersection

of in / exhale

                                    Then we all

                                    together

                                    we all together

                                    breathe

                                    and it seems

                                    or binds

                                                            or not

As if you can

even as you grieve

even if you grieve

absence

                        nothing

                                                abcess

lingual

                        intersection

                        inhale / ex

                                                our all together

                                                our less

                                                            and move

                                                our less

                                                and more

together or least

Leave us breathless

Leave us breath

                        Leave us breathless

                                                            Leave us breath

Leave us breathless

Leave us breath

Mockingbird Garden

 

He listens

to mockingbird

sing of ripening

tomatoes—

 

first of the year—

Time to drill down

she sings, skin

pulp, seeds

 

astonishingly

delicious juice

He now comprehends

her thirst and hunger

 

puts his

possessiveness aside

at least

temporarily

In Hallowed

 

They strike me

wearing white

Surely bones can

 

I have come to

so quick

Present

 

When you see

No matter

wrapped in

 

Woman's

Ever I reach

Silver

 

It is my duty to

My see
